From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal considered the comparable evidence provided by both parties and did not attribute great weight to either party’s comparables. The Tenant’s reference to a neighbouring property was unsubstantiated hearsay and lacking any details beyond a rental amount. Whilst some of the Landlord’s comparables included a little more supporting information, there was relatively little detail. … As to the question of damp, in addition to photographs provided by the Tenant the Landlord’s damp survey report indicates the presence of damp issues and mould. Whilst the report suggests tenant lifestyle as a contributing factor, recommendations are made for a number of improvements/repairs to the Property. … Relying on its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property in good order would be in the order of £700.00 pcm. This is the rent we would expect the property to let for in the open market if it was in the same general condition as comparable properties.
